The Reserve Bank of India maintained the repo rate at 6.5% at its final monetary policy for the year amid growing calls for rate cuts in the wake of a sharp slowdown in economic growth. This follows a slide in GDP growth to a seven-quarter low for the July-September quarter of FY25.
The RBI cited inflationary risks, particularly volatile food prices, as the key reason to hold rates steady. Still, inflation remains well above the central bank’s target of 4%, with retail prices surging to a 14-month high of 6.21% in October.
Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Nirmala Sitharaman had earlier pleaded for rate cuts, emphasizing the need for cheap credit to boost industrial growth. The Monetary Policy Committee also trimmed its growth forecast for the fiscal year from 7.3% to 6.6%.

Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa 2: The Rule has made history in Indian cinema in the first day when it got over ₹175 crore. Now this film holds the opening record with the highest number of revenues generated at Indian box offices surpassing the film directed by SS Rajamouli, RRR.
The Telugu-language action drama received huge attention, garnering an 82.66% occupancy rate in the Telugu market. Fans from all over the country thronged theaters with the film’s pre-release buzz and advance ticket sales.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, on his 69th death anniversary.
“Dr. Ambedkar’s relentless fight for equality and justice remains a beacon of inspiration,” the PM wrote on X, sharing a photo from his visit to Chaitya Bhoomi earlier this year. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to upholding Ambedkar’s vision of social equality and empowerment.
Mahaparinirvan Diwas is annually celebrated on 6th December to commemorate Ambedkar’s role in shaping the legal framework of India and for social causes for which he relentlessly worked. Thousands paid homage at Chaitya Bhoomi in Mumbai on Sunday.
The demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992, continues to mark a very critical point in India’s socio-political history. It strengthened the growth of Hindutva politics and changed the path of political discourse in this country.
This event catapulted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) into a dominant political force, especially in North and West India, with a stark decline in the influence of the Congress Party. The BJP used the Ram Janmabhoomi movement to energize Hindu nationalist sentiments, transforming itself from a regional player into a national powerhouse.
While the Supreme Court has since ruled in favour of constructing the Ram Temple, political fallout of the demolition continues to haunt India’s electoral prospects.

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma claimed that Washington Sundar has got the potential to play in any international event and would be a potential replacement for Ravichandran Ashwin.
While Sundar’s inclusion ahead of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the first Test against Australia caused a few eyebrows to rise, Rohit explained that balance was needed in the team. In this regard, Sundar showed his mettle, both with bat and ball.
Rohit added, “Players like Ashwin and Jadeja remain invaluable, but Sundar offers a unique edge for specific situations.”
On the 10th anniversary of the tragic passing of Phil Hughes, the Australian cricket team wore black armbands on Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against India in Adelaide.
Phil Hughes was killed when a bouncer struck him in the head during a domestic match in 2014. He was just 25 years old. The cricketing world was shocked at his passing. The match began with a minute’s silence to honor the contributions of the player to Australian cricket.
Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said that it is important to celebrate the legacy of Hughes while also providing support to his family.

Skipper Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant remained at the crease by the end of the session to rebuild the innings.
